As 2020 draws to a close, sports fans are reflecting on a bizarre year which saw the headlines dominated by Covid-19's impact on the games we love.
From cancellations and postponements to internationals played in empty grounds and December All-Ireland finals, it's been sport - but not as we know it - ever since the pandemic struck.
While it certainly hasn't been all fun and games, there have been some standout moments which have stirred passions around the country.
Here, Irish Mirror readers have had their say on their favourite sporting moments of 2020.
Tipperary win the Munster Football Championship
Respondents to the Irish Mirror's Facebook poll picked Tipperary's Munster football title win over Cork as one of the top sporting moments of the year.
Tipp ended an 85-year wait for Munster glory on the 100th-year anniversary of Bloody Sunday, when Tipperary footballer Michael Hogan was murdered during a Crown Forces attack on Croke Park.
There were emotional scenes as David Power's men hoisted the trophy aloft in a green and white commemorative kit worn especially for the occasion.
Sam Bennett's Tour de France green jersey win
Cycling captured the imagination of Irish sports fans in 2020 and Sam Bennett's Tour de France green jersey win was one of the stories of the year.
Bennett became only the sixth Irish rider to win a stage during cycling's flagship race and emulated fellow Carrick-On-Suir man and Irish cycling legend Sean Kelly by winning the green jersey.
Katie Taylor remains undefeated
Katie Taylor's 2020 success was lauded by Irish Mirror readers as the Bray star cemented her place as the best female boxer in the world.
The 34-year-old remains undefeated since turning professional and has been credited with pushing women's boxing to new heights.
It was another stellar year for Taylor. Her megafight with Amanda Serrano fell by the wayside amid the pandemic but she recorded a win over Delfine Persoon in a highly-anticipated rematch and proved her class yet again by demolishing mandatory challenger Miriam Gutierrez last month.
Limerick's All-Ireland hurling title
All-Ireland titles are never taken for granted in Limerick and the Treaty delivered a second All-Ireland in three years for their hurling-mad supporters earlier this month.
Before John Kiely's charges made the breakthrough two years ago, they had not won the ultimate prize since 1973, so this year's Liam MacCarthy success was naturally greeted with delight in what has been a tough year.
Limerick put a stamp on the triumph with an emphatic win in the All-Ireland final against Waterford, having beaten Clare, Tipperary and Galway on their way to glory.
Cavan win the Ulster football title
Cavan shocked Donegal in the Ulster final and a football county starved of success was sent into raptures.
It was a first Ulster triumph since 1997 and Mickey Graham's emotional TV interview following the win showed just what it meant to Cavan people.
The result also capped off that special Sunday which also saw Tipperary take down Cork in Munster.
Dublin footballers win six All-Ireland titles in-a-row
The Sky Blues' domination of Gaelic football continues to go down a treat with fans in the capital.
Dessie Farrell's men strolled through to an All-Ireland final where they saw off old rivals Mayo and became the first team to win six Sam Maguire Cups on the bounce.
